St. Paul’s Community Partnership REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

For the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

Risk Management

The Trustees are alert to risk and review control measures on a regular basis. Policies and procedures have been introduced to mitigate risk. Uncertainty about future funding is recognised and alternative funding sources sought.

Achievements and Performance

The funds of the charity have increased by £12497 during the year.

Reserves

The Trustees have given consideration to the level of reserves required by the charity and are satisfied that the present funds held form an adequate reserve. They may consider that efforts to expand the work of the charity in the future may require a higher level of reserves.

Objects and Activities

The Charity’s objects are for the benefit of the inhabitants of North Tyneside, and in particular Willington Quay by associating together the local inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary, and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the life of the said inhabitants.

St. Paul’s Community Partnership INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 March 2023

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
a. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
b. To prepare accounts which accord with accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

have not been met; or

2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
